The MacMillan Pier is the pier for the city of Provincetown. Named after the arctic explorer Donald B. MacMillan who was born in Provincetown, the pier is the city’s main marine transportation hub bringing in tourists from Boston and Plymouth by ferry and speedboats. It also serves as the starting point for a variety of sea excursions to explore the Cape Cod National Seashore, the Stellwagen National Marine Sanctuary, and the Harbor of Provincetown.

On MacMillan Pier there are art shacks, a museum, the harbormaster’s office, and other facilities. From the harbor you can see all of Provincetown and the three lighthouses on the Cape Cod National Seashore.
